The Vintner

His stock is rosy red, his nose
Blood-hound sensitive;
Cabernets, Chardonnay, 
Muscadet; Bacchus of the industry! 

Rolling the names around his tongue,
leaving no Chateau or wine unsung:
 Chateau Lafite, Chateau Latour, 
Chateau Mouton, Chateau Margaux.

Thanks, Keith. Nothing wrong with a bit of humor - and a glass of red wine - with our poetry. :-) All the best, Ken
